This is a quiet, "behind-the-scenes" ministry for those who love to help create a sacred space for worship. The Chancel Guild prepares St Johns' for worship on Sundays and during the week through the preparation of the sacred vessels and linens. Beyond regular services, the Guild sets up for the holy days, cares for the linens, communion silver, liturgical hangings, candles, and brasses which are used in the various services. It also maintains the needlework, and arranges for flowers to adorn the church. Members of the Chancel Guild arrange the flowers that adorn the Church on Sundays – in the Chancel, Chapel, Baptistery, and on the Ledge. Members also deliver flowers to parishioners who are ill or 'shut-in' following the Sunday services. For the Harvest, Christmas, and Easter festivals, the entire Guild gathers to decorate the Church. If you are interested in contributing in this way to St John’s, please contact Pamela Smith (pamela.smith@idirect.com) - the head of the Altar Guild. The Chancel Guild will be meeting on September 29 at 10:30 a.m. for their quarterly meeting. Choir and Theatre Groups (See the Arts)
